What is this? What might the parent case be?

Sounds like some 6.5-06 variant. Don't know about it being the "most-powerful" 6.5 commercially out there, but interesting nonetheless.

Likely a good round, and also likely it will just be a memory to most in a few years, like the RCMs.

I see now it is probably a 375 Ruger necked down. Makes sense now.

They say it'll launch a 130-grain bullet at 3,400 fps, and Mule Deer seems to think they're not out of the ballpark with that claim so it's a bit more than a 6.5-06 variant. Holds a good bit more powder.

Rum based csse

25-20.

I m not going to trade in my 264 Winchester Mag Mdl 70 .

I am guessing the 375 Ruger as a parent case?

holds 93 grains of water Nosler states, the case, that is.....

This new offering has little appeal or much advantage over my 264 Win I've been shooting for so many years and of late I took a small step backwards or forward however one sees it into the world of the 6.5/06 AI. No doubt the Nosler name will sell it if only for the sake of holy grail speed.
